Honestly, I think you are pretty smart in this economy to humble yourself and move back in with Mom and Dad as long as they are ok with the move.

I think most parents have got to understand how tough it is right now in the workplace…

I say go for it…as long as you can keep everyone happy. :)

Those statistics are right on point. Not only will more and more people be moving back home, but they will also become dependent on their parents financially more so that ever before.

If you are in a situation where money is really tight and you have a chance to move back home, so you can save up and hopefully find a better job, your better off doing that. It will be a positive opportunity to better your situation.

Saving money while in college? My books alone cost between $1000 and $1700 a year, my tuition was 20,000, room and board another 10 grand. I made 8.75 an hour at a job where I could only fit 20 hours a week in between my 9 am to 6pm daily classes. Pray tell, what money was I supposed to have been "saving" during this period? there was not a single year I hit above the poverty line… BEFORE you subtracted my school expenses. That is a ridiculous concept.

I'd say blowing all your money on an overpriced apartment is out and sleeping on the twin bed at your parents’ house is in. When I was a senior at College I moved back to my parents place after graduation and looked for a public relations job from the comfort of my parents’ home, and I saved so much!!

I'm a "Boomeranger," and while returning to live with my parents helps me financially, it in no way makes life "easy." The rules I live by are the same as those of my high school days. Curfew and complaints of "too much socializing" are a two examples. In addition, I'm expected to keep up two or three jobs, spend time with the family, keep the house clean and yard maintained, and keep up with my accelerated post-baccalaureate degree. It really is helpful to not have to pay for food or rent, but it's detrimental to my self-esteem to not feel comfortable or welcome in a place I once called "home."
Any other "boomerangers" out there going through the same thing?
